The exterior design of the Butterfly House is also made in juicy colorful tones.
Bubble Palace, France
Hungarian architect Antti Lovag was an ardent supporter of the Bubble House concept, which represents the fundamental idea of building a house in the shape of a bubble. A huge villa sitting on the French Riviera near Cannes is considered the architect’s most striking work. Covering an area of 1,200 square meters, this fancy structure resembling a chain of pink bubbles was built in 1971. In the early 1990s, the villa belonged to famous fashion designer Pierre Cardin.

Habitat 67 contains 146 apartments and consists of more than 350 identical blocks, arranged in various combinations. Almost every apartment has a private landscaped garden terrace, built on the roof of the level below.
